Last month, Obama has announced that the First Family has decided to adopt a dog that would live with them at the White House. The family wants a dog from a shelter, but they need one that will not trigger 10-year-old Malia’s allergies. But here are some updates on their search of the future First Family Pet.

During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, President Barack Obama said that the family is still undecided on what kind of dog they want to get, and that the decision would not be made until spring of this year. That means the girls are almost getting that puppy their dad promised them.

Last month, Obama revealed that his daughters, Malia and Sasha, had narrowed down their list of dog choices into two breeds: a Portuguese Water Hound or a Labradoodle. Labradoodles were originally a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Standard Poodle, now they are a breed of their own! Labradoodle-Dogs.Net is currently the largest breeder directory in the Internet dedicated to the Labradoodle breed! They are committed to helping breeders and owners connect in a safe and secure environment.

After a 50,000 signature petition by Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the family of the new president elect are planning to adopt their new puppy. Keep up on the progress at http://obamafamilydog.com!
